Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

……

More than half an hour later, it was completely dark, and many people in the family compound began to come out in small groups.

Most people take a shower after dinner.

Zhao Qingsong stared intently at everyone who left, especially the red dot that appeared from Xu Jing's side.

With several floors overlapping, Xu Jing's radar display would overlap with others'.

He couldn't quite tell the difference.

……

"Haha! The habit of going to bed early and waking up early is good, but I get a little sleepy at that time."

Zhao Qingsong felt like he was freezing to death.

While thinking about Xu Jing, he also thought about tomorrow's survival mission.

Tomorrow morning at dawn, he will be able to complete his survival mission again, and he wonders what he will get this time.

"ha!"

Zhao Qingsong yawned again and turned his gaze to the front door.

"Huh!"

Suddenly, Xu Jing appeared at the gate, talking to someone.

……

Xu Jing came out from outside, carrying a cloth bag.

"Xu Jing! What are you doing?"

An older woman saw her and greeted her with a smile.

Xu Jing gestured to the things in her hand and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm going to take a shower. I haven't showered for a week, and I feel uncomfortable all over. You guys get back to work, I'm off!"

After saying goodbye, he left.

The two middle-aged women watched each other leave with smiles.

After everyone left, his expression changed.

He muttered to himself, "She's really rich. She only takes a bath once a week. These days, bath tickets are only issued once a month, and she only takes one bath a week."

"Hey, what can you do when you're so lucky! Both men she dated died in the factory, she got a lot of compensation, and she even sold one of her jobs!"

"Pah, what a vixen! How much compensation can she possibly get? It can't possibly support her spending like that!"

"That's quite a lot. Not to mention the earliest one, just the last driver, who earned a little over sixty yuan a month, received six months' worth of pension, almost 400 yuan! She even managed to get a job and sold it."

"My goodness, there are so many!"

"You don't know!"

The two muttered to themselves as they walked away into the distance.

……

Zhao Qingsong used radar to keep a distance from the other side.

They didn't go far, but went straight into the bathhouse not far from the courtyard.

Zhao Qingsong frowned.

A public bathhouse?

He suspected that Xu Jing might be sending signals to the people in the bathhouse.

Unfortunately, he couldn't go in.

All I could do was find a quiet place to wait, keeping my eyes glued to the red light on the radar.

The bathhouse only had one floor, and he could clearly tell which one was Xu Jing.

……

The other person wasn't washing very slowly.

About an hour later, the other person came out from outside wearing a new cotton-padded coat.

His head was completely wrapped in a scarf.

If Zhao Qingsong hadn't been watching the other party's radar signal, he really wouldn't have been able to tell that it was Xu Jing.

……

Zhao Qingsong watched as the other person changed their clothes and, instead of going to the staff compound, walked in the opposite direction.

My heart skipped a beat.

something wrong.

He quickly and quietly followed them.

This woman has a strong sense of counter-surveillance.

They would circle around residential areas, occasionally hiding around corners, and even pretending to go to the toilet while hiding in the woods.

This further confirmed his suspicions.

After half an hour of fussing, the other party arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, looked around, and carefully opened the door and went inside.

……

Zhao Qingsong frowned.

There is definitely a problem.

He wondered whether he should go in and peek.

……

Xu Jing entered the compound, but instead of going inside, she hid behind the gate.

She waited for a good ten minutes before she finally entered the room in the dark.

The room was pitch black.

"It's me!"

As soon as Xu Jing entered, she sensed the movement inside and immediately called out.

Upon hearing this, a deep voice came from inside the room.

"You weren't being followed, were you?"

"Don't worry, I went to the public bathhouse to take a shower and changed my clothes. Nobody knows me. Besides, this whole journey took me an hour."

Hearing this, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

The candle was lit, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man.

The room's windows were covered with black cloth, and the other person was looking out through the window.

"The security guards came to see me today, investigating the potassium permanganate issue. It seems the matter has been leaked. Are you sure you're leaving tomorrow?"

Xu Jing stood at the doorway, speaking while carefully watching the entrance to the main room.

She would flee at the slightest sound from that side.

Qiang Ge withdrew his gaze from outside, drew the curtains, and said, "It's confirmed. The factory has found out. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave."

"good!"

Xu Jing agreed.

She walked over and stroked the man's cheek.

A fiery look appeared on his face.

"Are you really not coming with us? Your baby will be showing in two months."

A fiery glint flashed in Qiang Ge's eyes.

But he quickly regained his senses.

"If we don't complete the mission, we're all doomed. And once I complete the mission, the factory's security will definitely be very tight, and I'll hardly have a chance. After I complete the mission and rescue Xu Qiang, you guys can leave first. This will also draw attention to me and prevent suspicion from falling on me."

"Alright then, I..."

Xu Jing was stunned before she could finish speaking.

Seeing the knife in his chest, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Just as he was about to shout, his mouth was covered.

"Waaaaah~~"

After a while, his mouth was finally opened.

Xu Jing lay in a pool of blood, her mouth slightly open: "Why, why? I... I'm pregnant with your child."

Qiang Ge's eyes turned cold.

"Why? If it weren't for you, how could I have betrayed my country! If it weren't for you, how could I have been driven to this dead end?"

"If we had a chance, we could have escaped. But now? We've been almost completely destroyed. Only if you all die can I survive."

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to complete the mission. I'll leave when I find a good opportunity."

"You... can die now."

As he spoke, he stabbed the knife a few more times.

Xu Jing collapsed directly into a pool of blood.

Qiang picked up the dagger, glanced coldly at the house, blew out the candles, and left through the back door.

……

Zhao Qingsong hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to sneak in and try.

However, he didn't use the main entrance.

Instead, they quietly crept in through the side wall of the courtyard.

Just as he was about to climb into the yard, a person with the red dot inside the house left directly from the back.

However, the original red dot did not move.

He hurriedly chased after them through the alley.

When he came out, he saw a man's figure disappear into the darkness in the distance under the streetlight.

"This person has blood on them!"

Zhao Qingsong sensed something was wrong.

Moreover, he felt the red dots in the room were starting to fade.

Could it be... that someone inside is about to die?

This is his guess.

The other party was very fast; they found the bicycle they had hidden beforehand and rode away.

Zhao Qingsong didn't have a bicycle, so naturally he couldn't catch up.

Looking at the dark room, I hesitated for a moment.

I still managed to carefully find my way to the back door.
